Estate Valuer Referral

Estate Referral Valuer

As an estate valuer, is your work day filled with checking the classifieds and local property guides for properties that are selling, and then cold calling these prospects? Undoubtedly, the sales function is perhaps the most time consuming task of your work day. To grow your business, you need to continuously seek quality prospects for your leads pipeline. It can be tough. But you can get on top of the situation by building a strong estate referral valuer business instead of cold calling prospects.
Building an estate referral valuer business makes sense because,

1. You spend less time in cold calling. This cuts down on your sales expenses and sales cycle.

2. You are able to allot more work hours to focusing on existing customers and providing them with better service, which in turn results in more referrals, as satisfied customers are more likely to bring in quality leads.

3. Quality leads have a higher conversion ratio as compared to cold prospecting. This boosts your sales revenue. In short, a referral-based business is a win-win situation to be in.
Here are some guidelines to follow when building a referral-based estate valuer practice:

1. How to measure your growth. Set realistic targets for your income growth. Make sure that your sales revenues can be measured over a period of time. For instance, 5% increase in referral business in the next 3 months.

2. When to ask for that estate valuer referral: If you plan to ask fro a referral the moment you close a sale, you will risk appearing very aggressive. Worse, even clients who are satisfied so far can end up feeling disgruntled. Instead, wait until the clients have had a first-hand experience of your estate valuer services. They are far more likely to give you an estate referral valuer when they know how credible and reliable you are. Toward this end, ensure that you are offering your clients the good advice and follow-up support before asking for referrals.

3. Who to ask for an estate referral valuer: Goes without saying that not all your clients are the best contacts for bringing in referrals. Typically, the best clients to give you referrals are ones who are in influential positions, such as accounts, advocates etc. who have a great network of family, friends and colleagues (who have the right demographic profile to become your client). Plus, they are in a position to influence decisions. So, it is likely that when they recommend your estate referral valuer services, you will get quality referrals.

4. Express your gratitude: be sure to thank the clients who give you referrals. Even if the lead does not convert into a sale, say thank you. This not only feels people feel appreciated, they are more far more likely to refer your estate valuer services at other occasions to other people.
